how we all look at this at different angles, but in the long run — why is the mother sueing for her responsiblity. afterall, labels put on things are not always read. think about the many labeling done on foods. how many of you actually read every one of them? the forms given to you from the pharmecy, how many of you read the fine print. yet, we are mandated to have everything labeled. if you look at the tv and see the ads for car sales, then look twice to see that the disclaimer is there, but you can’t read it. most of the time, it’s so small that you have to get a magnifying glass and but by the time you find one, it’s gone! common sense?! injured toe?! i bet he’s walking on that toe! money that she is asking for – most of it if awarded will wind up in the lawyers hands. (must be a good job to get overpaid). question would be – how much will he/she get if the case is lost?
back to issue: responsibility – who wore the shoe? who stepped where? if a minor, who is responsible? nobody wants to claim individual responsibility. just trying to get a fat check for no reason at all. this is what boggles our courts up! now you wonder why they have moved some of these so-called court cases to tv shows.
It’s really not the mom’s fault, but the stinkin LAYWER who eggs on this type of behavior. It’s the old “throw it against the wall and see if it sticks” mentality. There are no consequences for wasting the courts time and taxpayer money. I’ll bet that if a lawyer has to pay a fine if he loses a frivilous case, this crap would stop real fast.
I totally agree. If money hungry people keep sueing companies for crazy amounts of money we will never get out of this money crisis that we are in. Watch your child.
I honestly feel that the company should sue the mother for request such and excessive amount of money for a minimal injury. The most she should get if any is payment for the medical bill and that’s pushing it.
That’s just it. The lawyer finds some stupid and broke family with a crazy claim and pump them up like they are going to make out with Donald Trump’s jet or something and they are to naive to understand they are being played.
The shoe is perfectly safe but people, especially kids don’t put them on all correctly and like to play with them and I would bet any amount of money that the child in this case was doing just that when he was supposed to be getting off the escalator. The shoe’s design to me seems almost impossible to get stuck in a small opening. Someone would have to jam the shoe in there with great force for it get stuck so the only other option is that he was playing around and was the cause of his own accident.
You sound stupid saying moms can’t do everything. If you are on the escalator with your child that is your only duty at that time. What else should you be doing while he is trying to get get off, window shopping I guess. You must not pay very good attention to your child.
I don’t think he means the mother should fix the escalator. C’mon use your common sense. He meant the mother should’ve been doing what a good mother would and pay attention to what was going on with her child who should’ve been right next to her.
You sound stupid. Put a stop to what? People not wearing a shoe properly. I mean if he would have been wearing tennis shoe and the string was untied should the maker of that shoe put a tag on them to say tie your shoe. It is common sense that people lack today and it scares me that some of the people who have made comments on here may be raising children. Please keep them away from mine. I wouldn’t want the stupidity to rub off, or does your child have a warning label for that?

Or take the stairs, which is what most of America needs to do since most of them are fat anyway.
